HISTORY IS ALL ABOUT CHANGE WHICH COULD TAKE DAYS,MONTHS OR YEARS. HISTORY IS EVER CHANGING AND CAN HAPPEN IN A BLINK OF AN EYE OR DURING A WAR OR REVOLUTION. TO UNDERSTAND AND TO STUDY HISTORY, WE FIRST MUST UNDERSAND THE PAST THAT LEADS US TO THE PRESENT. AND CREATE THE AWARENESS THAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING ABOUT CONTINUOUS CHANGE...THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE ARE ALL LINKED TO EACH OTHER THROUGH CULTURE, GOVERNMENT, TRADITION, RELIGION, PEOPLE AND THEIR CUSTOMS, WAR, PEACE, ECONOMICS, DIVERSITY AND GEOGRAPHY.
GEOGRAPHPY AND HISTORY ARE STUDIED HAND IN HAND. GEOGRAPHY IS THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE LAND, THE PEOPLE, AS WELL AS, THEIR RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT.
THUS, OUR STUDY OF WORLD HISTORY AND WORLD GEOGRAPHY THIS YEAR BEGINS....
"IN THIS WORLD WE MUST ADJUST TO CHANGING TIMES AND STILL HOLD ON TO
UNCHANGING PRINCIPLES."

REMEMBER TO REUSE, RECYCLE, RENEW! WORLD HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY CLASS AND CURRENT EVENTSSTUDENTS WILL KEEP TRACK OF CURRENT EVENTS EACH WEEK REGARDING A BODY OF WATER AND SOME ASSIGNED COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THESE ASSIGNED LOCATIONS WILL BE THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR IN THESE COUNTRIES. THE STUDENTS WILL BECOME WORLD HISTORY EXPERTS IN SEVERAL PARTS OF THE WORLD! FROM SPORTS, TO POLITICS, TO HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION AND ALL THE WAY TO HUMAN INTEREST, IT IS THE STUDENTS' JOB TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR PARTS OF THE WORLD.
EACH FRIDAY, THE STUDENTS WILL REPORT ON A CURRENT EVENT TO THE CLASS FOR A GRADE. THE STUDENTS WILL HAVE MINI PROJECTS ALONG THE WAY THIS YEAR INVOLVING THE ASSIGNED BODY OF WATER AND/OR PRE-ASSIGNED COUNTRIES . EACH STUDENT HAS A SHEET OF PAPER EXPLAINING CURRENT EVENTS THAT THE PARENT WILL NEED TO SIGN AND THE STUDENT WILL GET A PLUS 3 WHEN THE SHEET IS SIGNED BY THE PARENT AND RETURNED BY THE STUDENT. AS PARENTS, YOU MAY HELP YOUR CHILD FIND THE CURRENT EVENTS, BUT YOU MAY NOT DO ANY OF THE WORK FOR YOUR CHILD. THERE MAY ALSO BE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU TO TYPE SOMETHING FOR YOUR CHILD THIS YEAR, BUT YOU MAY NOT CHANGE ANY OF YOUR CHILD'S WORK OR DO ANY OF THE WORK FOR YOUR CHILD. WE HOPE TO EXPLORE THE WORLD THIS YEAR WITH ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM! Class Files No "Class Files" exist(s) |
